2nd Gloucester Marine Debris Clean-Up Event

Saturday, April 25, 2015, 10:00 am to 11:00 am

Audience: all ages

The Rocky Neck & Harbortown Cultural Districts and Clean City Commission are reaching across the water on April 25, 2015 to support a clean Gloucester Harbor.  The Clean-Up will support the work of Rozalia Project to collect data on marine debris and to asses its impacts from the surface to the sea floor.

Cape Ann residents, students and visitors are encouraged to assist in cleaning various designated venues along Gloucester Harbor. The cleanup will include these sites: Maritime Gloucester~Rocky Neck Ave. Parking Lot~Horton Street-Ocean Alliance, ~Gordon Thomas Park (at the beginning of the State Fish Pier)~Stage Fort Park~Niles Beach

Volunteers meet at any of the cleanup sites at 9:45. All are welcome—great for all ages. Dress warmly, wear sturdy boots and bring your own gloves. Marine debris collected will be tallied back at Maritime Gloucester at 11:30 am where there will be food & refreshments. Contact Melanie Murray-Brown at Maritime Gloucester for more info: mmurray-brown@maritimegloucester.org.

  2. Maybe someday you remind me of my Grammy she was a quite a character too…And she almost made 107 years young :-O! I read the house we lived in is for sale now, they did a heck of a job fixing it up and many great memories there! I miss the folks that way always sharing wisdom and when you fell ready to pull you up!! I remember we would sneak out early in am to go pull lobster traps with a friend out of lanes cove or say we were sleeping over a friends – the things us young rascals did. Mom caught us one time saw the ladder and moved it guess she heard the be slide across the floor we anchored with old rope got yelled out from outside the house no pot pulling that day I was 12 then :-O – learned our lesson after that. 🙂 Dave
